Rally to Support Amendment 4 – Restitution of Voting Rights

More Info

There will be a rally to support Amendment 4 on the upcoming ballot in November. This Amendment, if passed, will give felons the right to vote who have completed their jail time, gone through their parole and probation periods, and have performed any mandatory restitution. Florida is only one of four States which does not automatically grant these ex-felons the right to vote and instead has a lifetime ban on their voting. This Amendment will help to dismantle some of the Jim Crow laws still on the books in Florida and will give these ex-felons a “second chance” at becoming contributing citizens of our society.

This rally is sponsored by “Second Chances of Indian River County” and other local groups concerned with social justice. The rally will be held at noon, on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 on the West steps of the Indian River County Courthouse, 2000 16th Ave, in Vero Beach.
